There is a discussion of this pic on one of the modeling forums. Someone had claimed it was a missile, but it's actually an airliner in the MD-80 family. If you look closely, you can just make out the wings and empanage, which blend into the background. Also, missiles generally don't leave dual contrails.

Still a cool pic, though. There are a bunch of Google Earth images of aircraft in flight..I did a search and found four or five in my state alone.
